Looking for the Andy Roddick vs Roger Federer Wimbledon final 2009 live? It is one of the most anticipated finals in years. It will be a big win for any of the two players involved. For Roger, another Wimbledon title would eclipse the 14 Grand Slam win record held by Pete Sampras which he equaled last by winning the French Open. For Andy, it would complete his comeback from the verge of retirement and a second Grand Slam he so desperately desires.

Of course, with an 2-18 win-loss record against Roger Federer, it will be a tall order for
Roddick. And with the way the Swiss ace has been playing, he has to come up with his best tennis to win. But nothing is impossible. He was also the underdog against British hope Andy Murray but he came up with the goods to stop the Briton despite the odds. Can Roddick complete his comeback and win the biggest prize of his career?

The Roddick vs Federer Wimbledon 2009 final will be broadcast live on television and online through live streaming videos. Here are the choices for both options:

It will be a Federer vs Roddick Wimbledon 2009 final after Andy Roddick beat Andy Murray a few minutes ago with a score of 6-4 4-6 7-6 7-6. The score says it all. It was an exciting match from the first serve up to the last point with both players giving their best for a finals berth against Roger Federer. And when the last point was won by Roddick, the stunned British audience couldn’t do anything but stand up and clap. This was not the result they were expecting.

All throughout the past week and a half, the British were hoping for a Federer vs Murray final.
In fact, the media had all but crowned Andy Murray champion even before this semifinal match. However, it was not to be. On the other hand, nobody gave Andy Roddick a chance. He was regarded as a has-been in tennis terms, his best years gone and with no chance for a Grand Slam final much less a championship. But he proved them wrong today.

Andy Roddick may have played his best tennis in Wimbledon so far. His huge serves and power forehands didn’t leave him today. Even his sliced backhand was up to par. And he used all of these weapons to tame Murray who must have had so much pressure on his shoulders that it contributed to his loss. Murray was also brilliant today. But Andy Roddick matched his every shot and put in some more.

This changes everything for me in the finals. I am a Federer fan through and through, and I was hoping for him to win his 15th Grand Slam. However, my sentiments are for Andy Roddick in the Wimbledon finals on Sunday. He deserves another Grand Slam win, and a Wimbledon title would be great.

Now that the ladies’ Wimbledon semifinals is over, it’s time for the men. Watch the 2009 Wimbledon semifinals live TV coverage at the sources provided below and see who will advance to the finals on Sunday. But first let me give you some insights.

As predicted, it will be another all-Williams final on the ladies’ side of the draw this weekend as Serena and Venus Williams vanquished their respected foes though is dissimilar fashions. Elena Dementieva had a very good chance to beat Serena Williams in the first semifinals match. It was a different Serena
that we saw especially in the first half of the match. Gone was the invincible stance, the menacing posture. On the other hand, Dementieva came to the match armed with a vastly improved service game and better ground strokes. However, she lost the big points and let Williams into the match when she had several chances to defeat her. As such, Serena eked out a win for another finals appearance. Later, sister Venus destroyed world number 1 Dinara Safina in what is probably the worst defeat for a reigning number 1 ever, going down 6-1, 6-0 to Williams.

The men’s semifinals later today will pit hometown hope Andy Murray against a resurgent Andy Roddick and Roger Federer against Tommy Haas. The battle of the two Andys will be the more anticipated match as Britain is pinning its hopes of a championship on Murray it last won in 1936. Hope Roddick can stop him. The Federer-Haas match is by no means less exciting knowing how the German is a dangerous opponent who may surprise the Swiss ace.

Leyton Hewitt has caused the biggest in Wimbledon so far this year, beating Juan Martin del Potro in straight sets with a score of 6-3 7-5 7-5. Del Potro, seeded number 5 at the tournament, was seen as somewhat of a threat to Roger Federer’s sixth title quest this year, along with Andy Murray. However, Hewitt, a former Wimbledon champion himself, had other plans.

Right from the start, the Australian some have nicknamed “the mongrel” because of his scrappy play, dictated the play. He was his old self on Centre Court running after every ball and making
his opponent earn points rather than giving it to them for free through errors. And, taking advantage of del Potro’s height, he used more of his sliced returns to make the ball bounce low. The strategy payed off as the Argentinian had a hard time across the net. True, he showed flashes of brilliance with booming returns and played the lines with his huge serves but Leyton’s scrappy play dictated almost every point.

Andy Murray begins his quest for Wimbledon 2009 glory in retro outfits from Fred Perry (photos below). Ironically, the British hope for an elusive crown last won by a Briton in 1936 will be wearing outfits designed by a company named after the last British man who won it, Fred Perry. Will this increase his good luck and thus increase his chances of winning the Wimbledon 2009 men’s singles crown? We’ll find out in the coming days.

The British have good reason to have high hopes for Andy Murray. He is at his highest ranking in his career, world number 3, and with Rafael
Nadal out of the tournament due to injury, he is the second favorite among the men to win the title. Roger Federer still holds the top spot. However, Murray has beaten Federer in most of their recent encounters, and with the home crowd behind him, the Scot may well do it again this time if they meet in the finals.

Roger Federer has always set Wimbledon fashion in the past years. His blazers and jackets designed by Nike were always a fashion statement at the tournament. This year, he again debuted a new outfit punctuated by a military inspired Wimbledon 2009 jacket at his opening match yesterday. Today, Andy Murray will have his chance to show off his. It’s a retro ensemble – traditional unlike the modern design of Federer’s. Some say it’s boring, other say it’s just appropriate for the championship. Whatever it is, we hope it will bring him luck this year.

However, Nadal’s fitness for the championship is still questionable having pulled out of the tune-up grass tournaments due to his injured knee. Will he be able to defend his title this year?
